Put children first in crafting laws

The majority of our elected officials in the New Jersey Legislature seem intent on doing harm to children. They have given us no-fault divorce which makes the breakup of a family so easy that one wonders whether marriage has any meaning to many of those who enter into it. It is the children who suffer most from divorce.

Senate President Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Oliver espouse the culture of death. They refuse to consider legislation that would place any restrictions on the killing of children by abortion. And, they refuse to post a bill that would give a woman seeking an abortion the option of viewing an ultrasound image of her unborn child.

And now President Sweeney has announced that he will again seek to overturn the governor's veto of same-sex marriage legislation. If he succeeds in this effort, it is the children who will suffer. Research demonstrates that children fare far better when they are raised by a mother and a father. Same-sex marriage denies children this benefit.

It is time for our New Jersey State Legislature to support measures that will protect and enhance family life rather than diminish it.
